印度对外贸易总局（DGFT）已将原糖免税进口的截止日期延长了两个月，允许符合条件的进口商将货物运抵印度，最迟可至 2026 年 12 月 31 日。该决定适用于现有的关税配额（TRQ）政策，该配额涵盖了 100 万吨原糖的进口量。
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has extended the deadline for duty-free imports of raw sugar by two months, allowing eligible importers to bring shipments into India until Dec 31, 2026. The decision applies to the existing tariff rate quota (TRQ) covering 10 lakh metric tonnes of raw sugar.
原定截止日期为2026年10月31日，但修订后的政策为进口商提供了额外时间，以便在获批配额内完成装运。政府并未增加允许免税进口的数量，也未修改管理该安排的条件。印度2026-27年度停止将糖转用于乙醇，在价格上涨之际为110亿升招标在修订后的进口政策下，根据印度贸易分类（协调制度）2022版第17章出口代码170114分类的原糖，在修订后的截止日期前仍可免税进口。
The earlier deadline was Oct 31, 2026, but the revised policy provides additional time for importers to complete shipments under the approved quota. The government has not increased the quantity permitted for duty-free imports or modified the conditions governing the arrangement.

但进口必须遵守现有配额框架规定的条件。最新通知仅更改了进口窗口的有效期，使企业有额外时间完成符合条件的交易。因此，在该计划下运营的进口商可以继续免关税进口原糖，前提是装运量保持在授权配额内并满足规定要求。此次延期并未增加原糖的额外分配额度，也未引入单独的进口权利。现有10万吨关税税率配额保持不变关税税率配额允许规定数量的货物以优惠关税税率进入一国。
However, imports must comply with the conditions specified under the existing quota framework. The latest notification changes only the validity period of the import window, allowing businesses additional time to complete eligible transactions. Importers operating under the scheme can therefore continue bringing in raw sugar without customs duty, provided shipments remain within the authorised quota and meet the prescribed requirements. The extension does not create an additional allocation of raw sugar or introduce a separate import entitlement. Existing 10 Lakh Tonne Tariff Rate Quota Remains UnchangedA tariff rate quota allows a specified quantity of goods to enter a country at a preferential customs duty rate.
对于印度的原糖进口安排，在允许配额内适用税率为零。政府最初通过8月20日发布的通知设定了10月31日的截止日期。最新修订将该截止日期延长至12月底，同时保留先前通知的其他条款。这意味着进口商必须继续遵守政府已确立的资格要求和程序。修订后的时间表可能有助于企业完成待处理的进口装运，而无需增加总配额。
For India's raw sugar import arrangement, the applicable rate is zero within the permitted quota. The government had originally established the Oct 31 deadline through a notification issued on Aug 20. The latest amendment extends that deadline to the end of December while retaining the other provisions of the earlier notification. This means importers must continue following the eligibility requirements and procedures already established by the government. The revised timeline could help businesses complete pending import shipments without requiring an increase in the overall quota.
印度外贸总局的这一决定在原糖进口安排上提供了更大的灵活性，同时维持正在讨论是否应放宽对免税商品购买的限制。
